Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is needed when a tooth’s nerve is infected, inflamed or it is beginning to die.
These symptoms may indicate that you need root canal treatment:
A crown is also recommended for those who have undergone root canal treatment, as the tooth starts to weaken and become brittle without its nerve. A crown protects your teeth and makes them easier to use. This is usually recommended between three and six months after your root canal treatment, just to be sure that the root has settled first.
Primary Dental uses a rotary endodontic unit, a piece of technology that enables faster treatment and more positive outcome compared to other methods.
Your consultation appointment will take approximately 30 minutes. Your dentist will discuss treatment options and provide you with a treatment plan and quote. This information will also include the amount of appointments required and time required for each procedure. You may require some additional imaging which the dentist will arrange for you.
This appointment will also be your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
When the dentist provides you with your treatment options, what to expect following your treatment will also be discussed.
